The following is not the direct information you needed, but may be of
assistance;
"SCHELL, or, Researches after the Descendants of John Christian Schell.",
Compiled by Christian Denissen, Pastor of St. Charles Church, Detroit ,
Michigan. Copyright 1896.
page 23 lists; first generation - N.N. Schell of Baden Baden
second generation - John (Hannes) Schell and Maria Shell
Their children
DENIS SCHELL, born at SchellÃ,'s Bush, N.Y., in 1756, was not married when
wounded by the tories and Indians.in July, 1782. He died the ninth day
after being shot.
JOHN CHRISTIAN SCHELL, born at SchellÃ,'s Bush, N.Y., about 1759, married
there, Elizabeth _______. He died in Michigan.
FREDERICK SCHELL, born at SchellÃ,'s Bush, N.Y., about the year 1762,
married there N.N. He died at Markham Ont.
EVE SCHELL, born at SchellÃ,'s Bush, N.Y., about the year 1765, married
there, Mr. Plank.
HENRY SCHELL, twins, born at SchellÃ,'s Bush, N.Y., 7 October 1770
MARK SCHELL
Mark Schell maried at the old home, Delila Casler, born at the Mohawk
Vally, N.Y. He moved to Markham, Ont. 24 miles north of Toronto, where his
family were born, and where he remained until 1842 when he moved with his
son Peter to Sanilac County, Mich.
Delila Casler died in Markham before 1842.
Mark Schell died from an accident: going from the village of Lexington,
Mich., to his home, in crossing a creek and stepping from one stone to
another, he missed his step and fell on a washboard he was carrying under
his arm; his side was punctured by the sharp edge and the result proved
fatal. During his illness, his twin brother Henry, then 75 years old,
walked all the way from Ingersoll, Ont. to Sanilac County to visit his
sick twin brother. A great affection always existed between these twins
and they were lonesome without each other. That long walk from Ingersoll
to Sanilac county and returen, must have been very ardous to the old
gentleman even in those days of pedestrianism: it would be so now even in
these days of fast trains, electric cars and bicycles. Mark Schell died in
Worth, Sanilac county, Mich. in June 1845, and was buried in the Bardwell
cemetery in that vicinity.
Henry Schell married at SchellÃ,'s Bush, in 1794, Mary Moyer, born at the
Mohawk Valley, 14th Aug., 1775. Mr.and Mrs. Moyer died in 1777, and Mary
was adopted by John Schell.
Henry Schell moved in 1798, to the Ã,"Nellis Settlement,Ã," at the
Ã,"forty miles creekÃ," in the township of Grimsby, between Hamilton and
Niagara. One or two years later he moved to Markham, Ont. 24 miles north
of Toronto. Here all of his children were born except Henry and Elizabeth,
the two elder. Henry Schell died at Ingersoll, Ont. at the residence of
his son Daniel, 12th April 1859. His wife Mary Moyer died at the same
place, 26th September 186
ELISABETH SCHELL, born at SchellÃ,'s Bush, about the year 1773, married
there, Peter Martz. They moved to Markham, Ont. She died 12th April, 1858,
at Ingersoll Ont.Ã,"
